Antique Victorian Archangel Gabriel Sepia-Tone Print / Artist: Melozzo da Forli
This is a wonderfully detailed, antique Victorian, hand-colored, sepia-tone print of Archangel Gabriel. This piece was originally painted by famous artist, Melozzo da Forli. Gabriel's graceful movements come alive in this print. Lovely, complimentary, gold-painted wood frame with decorative banding of marbled trim color. Original paper backing has some tearing. The original art dealers stamp on paper backing reads "A.G. Comings & Son, Photo Goods Artistic Framing, 37 W. College St., Oberlin, Ohio". Original wire hanger and glass. This piece is in excellent original condition, except for a very tiny dark spot on Gabriel's arm - (see photo). Circa 1900.
Gabriel is the most beloved of all members of the heavenly host and also one of the highest ranked of all angels. An interesting detail is the tradition that Gabriel is the angel of birth, carefully spending the nine months of pregnancy watching over each unborn child and instructing it on the necessary knowledge of heaven that is an inherent part of all people. Just before birth, though, he touches the baby on the upper lip to make it unable to remember all the information about heaven until it returns to the spiritual state of death;the sign of Gabriel's touch is the cleft just below the nose. Also, Gabriel is called the angel of truth and his symbol is that of the lily, as seen in this print.
Circa: 1900

*Courtesy of Art.com:
Raphael (1483 – 1520), one of the most prominent Italian Renaissance painters, created masterpieces that epitomized the High Renaissance ideals of harmony and beauty. From Urbino, Italy, Raphael was admitted to the workshop of the town’s leading painter at age 12 and quickly surpassed his instructor. Possessing a remarkable command of depth, perspective, light and shadow, Rafael imparted warmth and serenity to his magnificently lifelike figures. His most brilliant works include the stanzas inside the Vatican, and Madonnas which he portrayed with human emotions, as no artist had previously done. Pope Julius II had such high regard for the grace and perfection of Raphael’s work that at one point, he was inclined to make him Cardinal.

Rare Victorian Print, The Annunciation, Mary & Gabriel / Artist: Fra Angelico
This is a rare and special Victorian print titled, "The Annunciation" by famous early Italian Renaissance painter, Fra Angelico (c.1395-1455). In Italy, he became known as "Il Beato Angelico", meaning "The Blessed Angelico", which was in reference to his skills in painting religious subjects. He was also known to his contemporaries as "Fra Giovanni da Fiesole", meaning "Friar or Father John from Fiesole". This famous scene depicts the Virgin Mary with Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel is visiting Mary to reveal to her that she will give birth to Jesus. Gabriel has been called "The Angel of Life", and is said to appear to people when they are on the brink of a new beginning, especially a conception or birth. Gabriel is known to be the bearer of Good News! This inspirational piece is in excellent original condition with great detail. It is hand-colored with special gold highlights. At the bottom of the print, there are two sets of words written in Italian. I cannot make out the top row of letters, but I believe the bottom row of letters read as follows: "VIRGINIS INTACTE CVM VENER IS ANTE FIGVRAM PRFTEREVMDO CAVE NE SILEATVR AVE". The frame and glass are original to the print and the wood frame is painted gold. Original wood back. The original paper backing is torn, but there is writing at the top and bottom that is fully intact. The top reads: "T.W. Norman & Co., Art Dealers, Pictures and Frames, 44 Bromfield St., Factory 47 Field, Boston". The bottom reads: "2540 FIRENZE. – Museo di S. Marco. – L’Annunziazione della Vergine. Beato Angelico." (2540 Florence - The Announcement of the Virgin – The Blessed Angelico) Old, original wire hanger. Circa late 1800’s.
